      This was one of the best meals my colleagues and I have ever had! From the intimate setting to the detailed descriptions of each course, this is high-level experiential dining. Will make it a priority to come back every time we’re in Nola!

      We have been wanting to try some of the more upscale sushi restaurants and this one did not disappoint. The Omakase experience was delicious. Each course was full of flavor. The sushi chefs were great and knowledgeable. We will be back.

      Religious experience!! Best sushi I've ever had!! We ordered the 7-course Chef's Omakase tasting menu not really knowing what to expect. The first bite was incredible, and each course was more delicious than the last. HIGHLY recommend.

      First, the food is incredible. Yo Nashi gave me an experience of sushi and other items that changed my understanding of what it can really be. The chef's creative approaches to to their specialty items was really fun, and the cocktails were delicious. Portions were just right--it's all about the quality. The staff were great--unobtrusive but attentive, also very knowledgeable. The ambience was the only thing that rubbed me wrong: the decor is OK, nothing special and fairly generic, but the music was awful and far too loud. I'm not sure what vibe they're going for, but they can do better than meaningless, corporate, Eurotrash dance beats. That alone would make me hesitate before going back, but I would still recommend it to someone looking for what this place offers.
